FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Air Max 97 was originally designed as a performance runner, modern athletic technology has surpassed it; it is best suited for lifestyle, walking, and casual wear.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The UK 6.5 size corresponds to an EU 39. We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it against standard Nike size charts to ensure the best fit.
Can the full-length Air unit pop?
The Air unit is highly durable and designed to withstand standard daily use; however, avoid sharp objects and extreme temperatures to prevent damage.
How do I maintain the Black and Red colors?
Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach. Clean with mild soapy water and keep them away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent fading.
Are these unisex?
This specific model is listed for men, though the sizing can be adapted for anyone depending on the foot measurements.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structural shape and minimize deep creases.
Air unit becomes scuffed
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a very gentle non-abrasive polish to buff out light scuffs on the plastic Air casing.
Squeaking during walking
Ensure the insoles are dry and properly seated; if the issue persists, try a small amount of talcum powder beneath the insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 97 trainers remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. When sizing, note that these trainers are offered in UK 6.5 (EU 39), and fit is generally true to size. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole. For the upper, use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth, gently blotting rather than scrubbing to preserve the color and fabric integrity. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the pressurized Air unit.
